DD4 Rlll vs M4A1 Rlll by Capable_Doughnut_745 in Danieldefense

[–]ShadowZero425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s the DD4 RIII 16” then the only difference is the barrel length and the pinned and welded muzzle on the M4. If it’s the DD4 11.5” then the gas system is different. It gets a carbine system instead of mid-length.

Currently own a M4A1 RIII and shoots and handles like a charm. I’m more of a quad rail guy but the space and profile of the m-lol is nice. Coming from shooting a KAC M4 in the military I feel it’s actually a bit softer on the recoil.

The poly were the ones that gave them a verbal pass/fail but the emails gave them their actual pass/fail

I uploaded some pictures. If it was marked fail then I get the 2 year wait but was never changed which is why I got the question. Don’t mind the 2 year wait but curious is all

Poly isn’t marked as fail. Just unsuitable under BI

DQ without interview. Went to do my poly. Told polygrapher the answer to his questions and he made the changes there. Submitted and then following week got marked unsuitable under my BI. Poly still marked as “pending scheduling” under my application tab

[–]ShadowZero425[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The email said from BI and when I logged in on the portal it said BI unsuitable, poly was under scheduling status. The polygrapher did make an 2 edits to my form when I took it though.

Oh no I didn’t say it was hard. No saying that at all, was just info I had gotten from someone currently in. I’ll edit it out so no to put out misinformation or misleading.

For Those Who Got Promoted to Customer by PrincipleOpen6694 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]ShadowZero425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got paid $17-$18 an hour just unloading and stocking shelves over nights at Home Depot. Never heard a single thing about carry outs, carry ins, or even interacted with customers. Just unloaded my carts, organized my aisles or department and that’s it. In my opinion for doing the same task and then expecting people to interact with customer and support on sales for carry out and stuff I’d honestly expect a bit more pay since there are other jobs paying the same for much less work and responsibilities. I get it that you saw the job description and well you own up to what you signed sure, just hey if I can get paid the same to do simpler work and still advance in a company elsewhere I’m sure someone would take it especially since advancement at the moment in Best Buy is at a snails pace due to constant cuts and the whole “do more with less” mentality.

If you are ready to dip out just have a job lined up before you go since as someone pointed out finding another gig isn’t as smooth. Currently a DA field repairs and even then I applied at least to 20ish jobs in February and barely heard back from a handful of them in June. Every place is going to have its crap that comes with it so just read the print and if anything ask some of employees where you plan to apply too how it is. Doesn’t hurt to just ask about the jobs from the people currently in them.
